FAQs:
What are the safest birth control methods?
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (IUDs, implants) are considered highly effective and safe, with minimal chances of failure.
Can contraception affect future fertility?
Most contraceptives are reversible, and fertility usually returns to normal once the method is discontinued. Permanent options like tubectomy/vasectomy are irreversible.
Are there any side effects of birth control pills?
Some women may experience weight changes, mood swings, or irregular bleeding, but these are usually manageable with medical guidance.
How can I choose the right contraception method for me?
A gynecologist will assess your health, lifestyle, and family planning goals to recommend the most suitable method.
What is emergency contraception and when should it be used?
Emergency contraception (morning-after pill) is a safe option to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex, ideally taken within 72 hours.
